Broadway Backwards 2023-One Day More : I love a reimagined musical theatre piece. My god, One Day More gets a facelift here ( which is great because honestly I get bored of the same old Les Mis staging). Set against the backdrop of a pride march, new meaning is imbued into these revolutionary lyrics. An additional plus: the gender-bending casting decisions are an absolute dream.
Burn Your Village To The Ground ( Same Energy II): A casual music video about sticking it to the patriarchy, what’s not to like?
Let's Eat: A short film that explores the importance of food and culture in the relationship between mother and daughter. It’s important for me to see positive interactions around food between generations of women- it’s important because it's rare. A little sappy, but the tears flowed nonetheless. It really doesn’t take much for me to cry these days.
Quotidian: A Dance Film June is the month of muse energy; a month where whimsy and inspiration are the power dynamics to attend to. This piece of dance theatre fueled my musey fancies and makes me want to move in new ways.

What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing From Complex Trauma by Stephanie Foo This is a story of unearthing and sharing that process in order to heal. I think this work is not only important but necessary- now is the time where we are embracing a collective rebuilding, which, ultimately, starts with individual work.
The Moral Case for Working Less:“ However, although productivity-based arguments might help persuade employers and legislatures to consider shorter workweeks, we shouldn’t shorten hours just because we can still produce the same amount of stuff. In addition to the business case, there’s the moral one. We shouldn’t work less simply because it allows us to be better workers. We should work less because it allows us to be better humans.”
Ted Lasso and the Fantasy of Soft Masculinity: “But this is a fantasy. In real life, young men are often told that their moral absolution comes in the form of toughness, of suffering in silence. In real life, noxious figures who deride being emotional command a large audience. In real life, a 19-year-old offensive lineman, Jordan McNair, died in 2018 after being hospitalized for heatstroke. He collapsed after a team workout at the University of Maryland. ESPN published a report that highlighted a culture of “fear and humiliation” within the team, a culture that made it difficult to admit thirst, let alone exhaustion. But in “Lasso,” the fantasy comes to the fore. Forget winning in order to overcome your problems — “Lasso” suggests the reverse: You can’t win if you aren’t right within.”
Turns Out We All Need To Learn How To Breathe Better “All in all, everyone already knows that breathing is important, but hopefully the takeaway here is that actively giving your breathing attention is important, too. Dr. Minkikar even says that he thinks breathing is “one of the strongest and probably most powerful non-pharmacological maneuvers we have.” Turns out, sometimes the most monotonous things are the ones we should be paying the most attention to — even something as simple as breathing.”
Please Don't Call My Job A Calling: “But the rhetoric that a job is a passion or a “labor of love” obfuscates the reality that a job is an economic contract. The assumption that it isn’t sets up the conditions for exploitation.”
